When you click on "show all processes" are those really every single process currently being executed? Or are there others that may not be shown? Just curious.

I believe that you are seeing all of the processes that are running.

Way... way too many specs to list.
I just compared "Show All Processes" to sudo ps -A and it appears to be identical
